Even in winter, the climate and environment of Tianzhu in the Ming Dynasty are very pleasant. In the past, every year, when it was time to return to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year, the people of the Ming Dynasty who cultivated in Tianzhu would focus early and form a convoy to return to their hometowns together. Every year, in order to return to their hometowns for the New Year, they have to go through a long journey, the farthest of which is nearly 20,000 miles, and the closest ones are 7 or 8000 miles.

In recent years, the peasants who had worked diligently to save the Ming Dynasty from famine in Tianzhu had to prepare months in advance. This year, the big guys are not in a hurry, because this year, the government has opened a special train for them to return to their hometowns smoothly, and all they have to do is to pack up their salutes a few days in advance and wait at the stop of the steam locomotive in an early hour.

"Will you come, I heard that the north and south are frozen, can the steam locomotive be driven?"

In Tianzhu, there are not only farmers, but also officials in charge of the local area: "Just rest assured, I will sit several times, even if it is late, I will not not come." Two months earlier, an official letter was sent to me here, and the books were made one by one according to the head, and all seats were arranged. And fellow villagers will be arranged in a carriage, when the time to get off the car is also convenient, the car also provides food, although it is simple, but hot, do not have to eat dry food in cold water. ”

"That's a good idea. ”

In modern times, whether it is land transportation or air transportation, it is a trend to be late, and the steam locomotive of Daming has set aside a time that may be delayed in advance, so it can basically arrive at the station on time. Guli is the terminal station from Nanjing to Tianzhu, and when the steam locomotive comes far away with the whistle of "woo-woo", everyone stands in the station and waits.

In the distance, white smoke curled, and about a quarter of an hour later, the steam locomotive drove in front of everyone's eyes in a white fog. The cold steel carriage was not painted at all, and it looked a bit like a monster, a monster that swallowed clouds and mist.

Everyone: What the hell is this...... Don't eat people!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the car is parked and ready to get on. The attendants came down from above, and they didn't see anyone coming up at all, and they were used to it, and they explained to people very familiarly, "Don't worry, our car only eats coal, not people." ”

Someone hit the side and came down, still alive, everyone tried to go up, this cloud-swallowing monster did not move at all, it can be seen that it is quite obedient. Slowly, someone entered the carriage, and the lights were turned on in the carriage, but it was daytime, so naturally it was not turned on, but no one was surprised by the lights. However, the flight attendant was very sophisticated, and he was not surprised now, but when it was lit up in the evening, he was ready to explain to everyone.

When everyone boarded the car, the steam locomotive started to move again, and at first some people were a little flustered, but soon everyone realized that this guy was steady and fast. Compared with the horse-drawn carriage that goes over the mountains and mountains to make people's souls out of the body, the steam locomotive is really comfortable, and the strange child is still soft.

"The hot water is here, if you want hot water, go to the middle of the carriage and the carriage, and there will be a dining car to deliver the meal later, there are not many styles, and the big guy will order it." When we arrive in Yunnan, at noon tomorrow, we will stop for half an hour for everyone to get off the train and have dinner at the station. In Tianzhu, we only pick up people, and don't give extra time to stop and eat, how can the food in this place be comparable to that at home. ”

"That's right, look up, it's called an electric light, and it will turn on at night, don't worry, it's a glass lamp for candles." ”

"If you want to relieve your hands, go to the middle of the carriage, the left side of the middle of the carriage, push the door to enter, remember to follow the prompts to step on a foot to wash clean. ”

"Also, it may be cold in Yunnan after that, big guys remember to prepare cold and warm padded jackets in advance, if there is anything you don't understand, just come to us." ”

After a few stops in Tianzhu, it was dark, and when the electric lights came on, everyone looked up in amazement......

People are always curious and a little afraid of the unknown objects that Mo Ming appears, but after the flight attendant demonstrates how to turn it on and off a few times, no one cares about the brightly lit thing in the carriage, because the dining car is coming. There are wooden boxes of the same size stacked on top of the dining car, and the boxes contain meals, and the soup is not provided on the steam locomotive because it is inconvenient, and there are no additional snacks and snacks to add to the meal, but the water is enough.

As for the children, they are provided with extra rice cereal and a little fruit, the fruit is not very good, but it is very sweet and fresh.

After dinner, everyone felt that time began to be difficult, and it was okay to sit during the day, and the excitement went down, and the sleepiness came up, and the whole carriage was drowsy. The working people are always full of simple wisdom, and soon some people find that they can lay under the seats, and there is nothing to pay attention to on the way, everyone has to learn from them, and most of them are young and strong, and occasionally there are old people and children who have their own families to take care of.

After a while, more than a dozen carriages fell into a quiet night, and the lights were quietly turned off, only the small lamp in the middle of the carriage still glowed by itself, illuminating the people who got up at night.

Everyone went to sleep by themselves, but the officials stationed in Tibet were somewhat unable to sleep: "This is how many people are crowded, and if there are more people who come to cultivate in Tibet in the future, no matter how you go back, don't even think about squeezing up." ”

"Isn't it just one trip this year, and I'm afraid it's not enough to wait for a month earlier and send a few more times a day. "The flight attendants are much more optimistic than the officials, mainly because of the engineering college's rapid technological innovation, which makes everyone feel that there is nothing that cannot be solved.

"It's really convenient in the future, daily grain transportation, and carrying people during the New Year's holidays, so you can pull more people to Tianzhu to farm. If you only go back and forth for a few days, I think there will be many people who are willing to come, and it is a pity that there is no one to cultivate so much good land. As a farmer, officials who are good at agriculture and mulberry farming, every time they see that large tract of fertile land is barren, their hearts ache beyond measure.

"In the past, we could only grow grain in the Tibetan land, but in the future, if we can send trains every day, vegetables, melons and fruits will often be sent from all over the country. ”

In this way, we can avoid the worry of hunger and cold, and ensure the food and clothing of our country and our people. ”

Most of the young people who were promoted to the imperial examinations but chose to come to Tibet as officials were not excluded, but they had a simple and earnest wish in their hearts: "I hope that one day, my people will not worry about where tomorrow's rations will be, but about the countless delicacies and what to eat." ”

It is for this wish that they are not afraid of the long way to become officials in this tens of thousands of miles away.

Born in Si and grew up in Si, who can not hope that Xiao Ming is good.

"The School of Engineering is amazing. "The convenience of the steam locomotive can't help but sigh, yesterday was still in Tianzhu, today in the south of Caiyun, and listen to the crew said that the speed will be faster and faster.

"Our Ming officers and troops are also very remarkable, we can be so safe and stable outside, thanks to their intimidation of distant states and intimidation of the four seas. "Because of the great military prestige in the foreign battlefield, their safety in Tianzhu is also more guaranteed.

Flight Attendant: It's not easy for you to come here at a young age to endure hardships and suffering.

Yes, it's not easy for anyone, but for Xiao Ming, it's as sweet as a meal.
